< Zechariah 3 >

1 Then the Lord showed me Joshua the high priest standing before the angel of the Lord, and Satan standing on his right accusing him.
彼祭司の長ヨシユアがヱホバの使の前に立ちサタンのその右に立てこれに敵しをるを我に見す
2 And the Lord said to Satan, “The Lord rebukes you Satan. I, the Lord who has chosen Jerusalem, rebuke you. Isn't he like a half-burned stick snatched from the fire?”
ヱホバ、サタンに言たまひけるはサタンよヱホバ汝をせむべし即ちヱルサレムを簡びしヱホバ汝をいましむ是は火の中より取いだしたる燃柴ならずやと
3 Joshua was wearing filthy clothes as he stood in front of the angel.
ヨシユア汚なき衣服を衣て使の前に立をりしが
4 The angel said to those standing there, “Take off his filthy clothes.” Then he said to Joshua, “See how I have taken away your sins from you, and now I am dressing you with fine clothes.”
ヱホバ己の前に立る者等に告て汚なき衣服を之に脱せよと宣ひまたヨシユアに向ひて觀よ我なんぢの罪を汝の身より取のぞけり汝に美服を衣すべしと宣へり
5 Then I said, “Wrap a clean turban around his head.” So they wrapped a clean turban around his head and put the clothes on him while the angel of the Lord stood there.
我また潔き冠冕をその首に冠らせよと言り是において潔き冠冕をその首に冠らせ衣服をこれに衣すヱホバの使は立をる
6 Then the angel of the Lord solemnly advised Joshua, saying,
ヱホバの使證してヨシユアに言ふ
7 “This is what the Lord Almighty says: If you follow my ways and observe my commands, then you will govern my Temple and its courtyards. I will allow you to walk among those standing here.
萬軍のヱホバかく言たまふ汝もし我道を歩みわが職守を守らば我家を司どり我庭を守ることを得ん我また此に立る者等の中に往來する路を汝に與ふべし
8 Pay attention, high priest Joshua and all your fellow-priests that you teach! You are a sign of good things to come. Look! I am going to bring my servant, the Branch.
祭司の長ヨシユアよ請ふ汝と汝の前に坐する汝の同僚とともに聽べし彼らは即ち前表となるべき人なり我かならず我僕たる枝を來らすべし
9 See that I have placed a precious stone in front of Joshua, a single stone with seven faces. Watch, for I myself am going to engrave seven eyes on it, declares the Lord Almighty, and I will wipe away the sins of this land in a single day.
ヨシユアの前に我が立るところの石を視よ此一箇の石の上に七箇の目あり我自らその彫刻をなす萬軍のヱホバこれを言ふなり我この地の罪を一日の内に除くべし
10 On that day everyone will invite their friends to sit in peace under their vines and fig trees, says the Lord Almighty.”
萬軍のヱホバ言たまふ其日には汝等おのおの互に相招きて葡萄の樹の下無花果の樹の下にあらん
